1. your leading coefficient has to be 1 (nothing before the x^2). If there is you have to divide that out before you start.
2. Move your constant (the number without any x attached) to the other side of the equation
3. take 1/2 of the b term (the one with the x attached) and then square it and then add it to both sides
4. Factor the left side
5. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve
Here is an example:
4x^2-24x+20=0
The first term is not a 1 so we have to divide it out by 4 first
x^2-6x+5=0
Move the 5 to the other side. It becomes negative.
x^2-6x=-5
Take 1/2 of 6 (3) then square it (9) and add it to both sides.
x^2-6x+9=-5+9
Factor the left side
(x-3)(x-3)=4
(x-3)^2=4
To solve you need to square root both sides
x-3=+/-
x-3=+/-2
x=3+2=5
x=3-2=1
Those would be your two answers.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Height Calculator: predict a child's adult height with significant accuracy. You can estimate how tall you will be, or the adult height of your child or a child patient. Accepts metric and imperial units: inches, feet, cm, meters. Output (mature height) is in centimeters and feet and inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1)

2) the same value of the denominator of the fractions.
3) 4²*2²=16*4=64 or 4²*2²=(4*2)²=8²=64.
Megan's answer is correct.
4) if the given length is 2,25=9/4 (feet), then the length of each piece is 9/4 :3=3/4=0.75 (feet) or 3/4*12=9 (inches).
5) a. 4-6= -2; b. -4+6=2; c. -4-6= -10, so the required order is c<a<b.
6) A. -8+3= -5; B. -8*3= -24, so the greater value is (-5) - answer A.
7) if to calculate every option, then A. 2.3*6.5=14.95; B. 21.45-6.5=14.95; C. 8.32+6.63=14.95, - all of them are equal.
(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student
[x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student
23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies
The "students" unit cancels
46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies
x cookies = 34 cookies
